Turkey for Xmas - Why?!
Discussion
Turkey. One of the blandest, most boring meats ever invented, you may as well pour gravy and cranberry over a piece of warm cardboard and eat that.
Just why does everyone go mad for it over Xmas when there are so much tastier meats out there? In the past few years we've had goose, duck and even beef all of which are much nicer in my opinion.
Off to a few Christmas parties and the menu's I'm seeing all have bloody turkey on as well for the default option with some veggie crap as the second option.
Turkey. Just say no people.
Thank you for listening.

Goose is what it is meant to be. If there is really a "meant".
Turkey was an American thang for Thanksgiving. Turkey isn't too bad if done right. It is my turn to cook this year and they all want Turkey. Boring kents. I always make something different for myself as I'm an unsociable b

I agree - I hate Turkey. You can guarantee you have to visit someone who has a tesco one.
Sorry but something makes me hate anyone who says "we don't have Turkey we have Goose". Not playing the game.
You know Turkeys grow naturally and aren't manufactured by the supermarkets that sell them, right?Sorry but something makes me hate anyone who says "we don't have Turkey we have Goose". Not playing the game.
I used to be a chef so come christmas at wherever I was Mum & Dads, girlfriends outlaws ? the last thing i wanted on my plate was some fking turkey after the last month of serving over three thousand portions of the stuff - bangers and mash with onion gravy would do just fine thank you.
Goose or duck any day please.
Although I do like the boxing day lunch cold meat mash and pickles awsome

Unless I've visited other people for Christmas dinner I've never had turkey. At home we always had a good (expensive) cut of beef. Christmas used to be a time when you'd splash out on more expensive things and treats, so it always baffled me why people go for one of the cheapest meats on the market.
Last year it was beef on Christmas Day and then I cooked goose on Boxing Day. Many years ago we once had wild boar. This year I'm doing beef wellington, for a change.

For me it's turkey, from the whole cooking process to the turkey curry a few days after, absolutely love it!
I can go and buy a rib of beef any old day of the week but it's only a couple of times a year your butcher gets some lovely free range Norfolk black turkeys in and they certainly ain't cheap albeit not as much as some beef you can buy.

Depends on the turkey.
One Christmas my (then) mother-in-law bought a free-range bronze turkey which cost £100. This was at 'mates rates' since she has an old school friend in Wales who raises them - normally they sell for £150.
Feck me it was good - almost like beef it was so dark and flavoursome.

We'll be getting one from our local butcher.
